Despite his relationship with Vicky Pattison being well and truly over, Geordie Shore star Ricci Guarnaccio has revealed that their sex life was “brilliant”.

Fans of the hit MTV reality show will know how, after a string of violent drunken rows, Ricci and Vicky split up for good, with Ricci moving out of the house during the last series of the hit reality show. This was something we had seen time and time again in their turbulent relationship, but this time there was something very definite about their break up.

But, whilst Vicky made the most of her new freedom and actually began smiling, it would seem that Ricci has been reminiscing about the good old times, in particular the ones that took place in the bedroom.

Discussing his relationship with Vicky in a recent now magazine interview, Ricci explained:

“I’d been in a four-year relationship previously and told myself I’d marry the next girl I met,

“That was Vicky and she was perfect.

“I was totally in love with her but our relationship was even more volatile than Geordie Shore viewers saw on screen.

“It sounds strange but when we weren’t fighting the relationship was amazing and the sex was brilliant.”

However despite the chemistry between the sheets, Ricci insists their engagement is most definitely off:

“I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her. But there were obviously some big issues there,

“When I look back, the engagement ring was like a Band-Aid.

“Now Vicky and I have agreed to be mates. She’s returning the ring to me.

“It’s been a tough time but I’m slowly putting my life back together.

“But I’m not ready for another relationship yet. Splitting was the right thing to do.

“I wanted a girlfriend who I’d marry and have kids with.

“But Vicky and I are better off as friends.

“No man deserves to be slapped.”

But, whilst Ricci seems to want us all to ask him more about the above, Vicky has insisted to the magazine that she will not be kissing and telling so readily:

“All I’ll say on this matter is that there are two sides to every story.

“I don’t intend to go down the same route as my ex-partner and try to embarrass him.

“I feel sorry for him as he’s clearly bitter since his dismissal from both Geordie Shore and my life.

“I hope his ridiculous notion of events has brought him solace.”

Ouch!
